UK Progressive Rockers TemperToo published the track “Syndicate A” taken from new album “Monkey In The Machine” out on February 10, 2024. Stream the track through the Youtube player below:
“Monkey In The Machine” contains 8 brand new songs, plus 2 written by the band in1988, but not previously recorded or released.
The times when you finish a day, thinking you’ve created a work of brilliance; only to revisit the following morning and realise the monkey had broken loose in your head and that the work is destined for the bin – along with countless earlier attempts…
Or the times when 5 minutes from home, questioning whether you locked the door or not? Turning back, you not only find the door safely locked, but now you’re running late and fearing any watching neighbours think you crazy…
Perhaps the time when you have laid awake at night after socialising; worrying you’ve said too much; or the wrong things and that now your associates will think you a fool and excommunicate you…
All of the above – The Monkey In The Machine…
This album, the follow-up to 2021’s “Telegraph Road,” sees TemperToo perhaps followinga more consistent style. “Telegraph Road” was Ian and Steve’s first recording together in30 years and saw them “testing the waters” to see what style of material worked best,after such a long hiatus. With “Monkey In The Machine,” the band have returned to their Prog/Alt Rock roots and created a more cohesive offering.
